Mathari Sanitary Pads Project

The initiative is to give girls in the rural and township schools dignity, to have them love and feel good about their bodies and hygiene during their menstrual periods. We do this by donating washable and disposable sanitary towels and also giving lessons on feminine hygiene.

We want girls to have a joyful, fun and stress free period and not have to resort to missing school and using other unsafe products as substitutes for sanitary pads. These products are toilet tissue, newspapers, and pieces of clothing.

Kids can be very cruel as this often leads to bullying, low-self esteem and absenteeism. So with this initiative girls will be comfortable, confident and have the dignity they deserve. We want their entire womanhood period to be enjoyed, free of shame and embarrassment whilst attending school.
